Council Member Witte asked how the ice rink was considered and awarded, it was clarified that
the Sabala Foundation was non-profit and were the sub recipients. The funds were awarded for
new job creation and economic development.

PUBLIC HEARING
AB 10-212 CA-10-03 Fences in the 50' Lakeshore Setback - Ordinance
Bradley, Kraushaar, City Planner, presented the code amendment to the Council. The amendment
would prohibit fences in the 50' setback on the shoreline.
There was a general discussion to clarify the difference between a fence and a structure.
Council Member Scott expressed some concern with the not allowing fences around the water for
the safety of children.
Council Member Delaney recommended changes to clarify the reference made to the fences
section.
Council Member Witte also recommended changes by adding a section — "E - structures do not
include lot line fences in all zones except the shoreline river environs zone where they are not
permitted below the 50' setbacks and high water marks."
Mr. Kraushaar suggested that the language be clarified to read "except as otherwise provided in
§3.7023".
Bill Nichols, City Attorney, suggested adding the language "fencing greater than 30 inches shall
not extend along the 50' setback at the shoreline"
Mr. Kraushaar clarified the two changes as to change the reference in the structures portion to
§3.7023 instead of §3.810, and the change referenced by Mr. Nichols. There was a general
consensus from the Council.
Mayor Bailey opened the public hearing for the CA-10-03 Fences in the 50' Lakeshore
Setback.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Bailey closed the Public Hearing.
Mayor Bailey moved to amend the proposed language to §3.20b meanings of terms or
words as follows:
• Paragraph C, change the section number from 3.810 to 3.7.023

AB 10-210 CA-10-05 Single Family Dwellings in the CBD — Ordinance
Bradley, Kraushaar, City Planner, presented the code amendment to the Council.
Mayor Bailey opened the public hearing for the CA-10-05 Single Family Dwellings in the
CBD — Ordinance at 6:41 p.m.
Grant Bennett, 1610 Moore St, spoke in favor of the code amendment.
Mirella Ventress, second home owner, spoke in favor of the code amendment. Mrs. Ventress
would like to have the ability to remodel their second home so that she can make it her primary
home.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Bailey closed the Public Hearing.
Mayor Bailey gave an explanation of his reasoning for denying the proposed code amendment.
He stated that the amendment would be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. (Memo
attached)
Council Member Delaney stated that based on Mayor Bailey's memo and the Planning and
Zoning Commissions comments on what affect the amendment would have on the Central
Business District, she was also opposed to the amendment.
Council Member Kulesza stated that the current code was put into place to preserve space for
business growth. He also commented that the current code was consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Council Member Scott did not think that the amendment was the right thing to do. She stated that
the Central Business District was small and should be enhanced as the City grows.
There was general discussion that the idea of exceptions could be discussed in a joint meeting
with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Nichols stated that he would rather they take some affirmative action so the record was clear.
Council Member Kulesza moved to not adopt CA-10-05 Single Family Dwellings in the
CBD. Council Member Delaney seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member
Kulesza, Council Member Delaney, Mayor Bailey, Council Member Scott, and Council
Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Bailey called for public comment at 7:01 p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Bailey closed the public comment period.
BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 10-214 HJR5 Educational Presentation
Lindley Kirkpatrick, at the request of Mayor Bailey, presented educational information on the
House Joint Resolution 5 that will be on the ballot November 2, 2010.
AB 10-201 Tree Committee Annual Report
John Lillehaug, Chairman of the Tree Advisory Committee, presented the Advisory Committee's
annual report.
AB 10-206 Tree Committee Appointment
Re -appoint John Lillehaug to the Tree Committee to a three year term to expire October 2013.
Council Member Delaney moved to appoint John Lillehaug to the Tree Committee to a
three year term to expire October 2013. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a
voice vote all members voted aye and the motion carried.
AB 10-211 Variance — Ventress Living Room Addition
Bradley, Kraushaar, City Planner, presented VAR-10-01: 1204 Mill Rd. He stated that the
Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation was for denial of the application.
There was a brief discussion defining a variance as an opportunity to use property when the code
requirement prevents any viable use of the property.
Mr. Nichols clarified that in some parts of the Country a Variance may not be as strict as it is in
Idaho. The Idaho Code is very strict when it comes to a variance.
Council Member Delaney moved to deny VAR-10-01 on the basis that the code does not
authorize the granting of variances for use -related matters, and that the proposed application
fails to meet the variance criteria of MCC 3.13.021 (as articulated in the Council's Findings
and Conclusions).
Applicant interrupted and stated that he felt that the application denial was unjust without the
opportunity for the Council to hear from the applicant.
Mr. Nichols advised the Council can choose to withdraw the motion and hear from the applicant.
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 5 of 9
August 26, 2010
Council Member Delaney withdrew the motion.
Mayor Bailey allowed 5-7 minutes to hear from the applicant's representative.
Grant Bennett, representing the applicant, gave their reasoning for allowing the Variance
application, particularly to MCC 3.4.04 (D). Stating that paragraph D requires that residential
uses are allowed in the Central Business District only if 50% of the ground floor of the
development is devoted to commercial or public use. The applicant stated that their request was
directly related to paragraph D. The applicant relayed to Council the process they have already
been through to get approval for their project. He stated that they were advised approximately
two hours prior to the Planning and Zoning meeting that their application was not recommended
for approval even though a reasonable amount of work had been done in August to try to
facilitate the application.
The Council felt that the code was clear on this type of Variance. The Council had discussion as
to when it would be appropriate to look at this particular request. A scheduled joint meeting with
the Planning and Zoning Commission will give both the Commission and the Council an
opportunity to look at this type of issue.
Council Member Delaney moved to deny VAR-10-01 on the basis that the code does not
authorize the granting of variances for use -related matters AND that the proposed application
fails to meet the variance criteria of MCC 3.13.021 (as articulated in the Council's Findings
and Conclusions with the grammatical errors amended). Council Member Kulesza seconded
the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Delaney, Council Member Kulesza, Mayor
Bailey, Council Member Scott, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion
passed.
Jason Ventress was concerned with the process and did not feel that they were advised adequately.
AB 10-205 Code Amendments to Title 5- Ordinance
Jerry Summers, Police Chief, changes to Title 5 need to be made as there are some
inconsistencies with State Code.
Council Member Witte asked why state code did not replace City Code in the City Code. Mr.
Nichols explained that when it is covered in Idaho Code it does not need to be referenced in City
Code.
Council Member Witte moved to suspend the rules, read by title only, one time only,
Ordinance No. 881 amending Title 5. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll
call vote, Council Member Witte, Council Member Kulesza, Council Member Delaney,
Mayor Bailey, and Council Member Scott all voted aye and the motion passed.
Ordinance No. 881 was read by title only, one time only by Mrs. Wagner.
Council Member Witte moved to adopt Ordinance No. 881 amending Title 5, approve the
publication of the summary, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.

Council Member Kulesza seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Witte,
Council Member Kulesza, Council Member Delaney, Mayor Bailey, and Council Member
Scott all voted aye and the motion passed.
Council Member Delaney moved to approve the publication of the Summary. Council
Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Delaney, Council
Member Witte, Council Member Kulesza, Mayor Bailey, and Council Member Scott all
voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 10-207 Wastewater Industrial User Agreement with USFS
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, presented the revised agreement.
There was a brief discussion to clarify the parts of the agreement that were changed by the USFS.
Council Member Kulesza moved to approve the Industrial User Agreement with the USFS
and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Delaney
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Kulesza, Council Member
Delaney, Mayor Bailey, Council Member Scott, and Council Member Witte all voted aye
and the motion passed.
AB 10-208 Recycle Center Lease Agreement with Valley County
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, presented the lease to Council. Mr. Borner also updated the
Council on the status of the Recycle Partners project stating that they have building plans and
enough funds to build. However they will continue to raise funds for the equipment of the
building.
Council Member Delaney moved to approve the Recycle Center Lease with Valley County
after approval by County Commission and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member
Delaney, Council Member Scott, Mayor Bailey, Council Member Kulesza and Council
Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 10-215 Formation of a McCall Centennial Committee
Mayor Bailey confirmed the creation of the temporary McCall Centennial Committee. He
appointed Council Member Witte the Chair of the Committee and Council Member Scott as
Vice -Chair. Mayor Bailey also recommended that the committee be made up of the Chairs of all
the City Advisory Committees. He also stated that the City Staff liaison should be Carol Coyle.
Carol Coyle stated that she would like anyone within the community who has expressed interest
to have the opportunity to participate.
Mayor Bailey stated that an ad should be placed in the paper for the interest for community
involvement.
There was general discussion and ideas for the Centennial Committee.

Schedule City Council meeting date to discuss Council's guidance for Centennial

20 September 2010
To: City Council
From: Don Bailey, Mayor
cc. Lindley Kirkpatrick, Michelle Groenevelt, William Nichols
Subject: Proposed Code Amendment CA-io-o5 to Title 3, Section 3.4.02
Reference: Council Meeting September 23, 2010
This code amendment is to remove restrictions to construction of new residential units
within the CBD, currently not permitted except as a part of a mixed use development. I
thank the Staff for clearly explaining the amendment, especially the map of the area in
question.
However, there are important facts and information which have not been included in
the materials with this amendment. Attached are copies of some of this information,
including:
a. Zoning map of the CBD, including information from the Comprehensive Plan
regarding the area of the CBD as compared to the total area of the City.
b. Future Land Use Map from the Comprehensive Plan
c. Applicable pages from the Comp Plan
d. Section 3.13.03 of Title 3, Conditional Use Permit Standards
There also was no information regarding the history of the Code section and the reasons
for adding residential use standards to the CBD, as well as the other commercial and
industrial zones. During the years of 1995 to 2005, there was considerable pressure by
developers to use land vacated by the sawmill and railroad facility for residential uses.
Much of this land had been planned for a convention center and hotel, which did not
come to pass; this land at the time was zoned as CB (Central Business). When the
convention center project was abandoned, most of the land where the mill had been
located was subdivided and several large, expensive single family homes were built;
there are still several vacant lots in this subdivision. Other portions of the land in
question were developed as upscale condominiums (Greystone and others); Greystone 3
is the most recent one, which remains unfinished (notably the streets and sidewalks) .
The Council recently rezoned a large portion of the original CBD area where much of
this development occurred to residential zone R4 or R8, with the northern boundary
being Hemlock St. The remainder is shown on the attached zoning map, consisting of
only 1.7% of the total area of the City.
When Title 3 was amended in 1996, the planned changes to the commercial and
industrial zones were presented to the Council. All of these changes, to restrict new
residential development, were thoroughly debated by the Citizen's committee organized
to review the proposed changes to Title 3 and Title 9, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, City Staff and the City Engineer, CH2. In fact, the change to restrict
residential development to mixed use only in these zones was the idea of City Staff,
support by the CH2 architect who assisted with the code rewrite. The changes to Title 3,
as well as the introduction of new Title 9, were explained to the City Council initially by
a memo from staff dated January 9, 2006. A.n excerpt is, from page3:
4. Chapter 4 — Commercial Zones and Standards
d. To preserve land for commercial uses, residential development would no
longer be allowed in commercial zone districts except in mixed use projects.
It is my recollection that the Council discussed this change and unanimously supported
it. The concern was the rapidly disappearing land available for commercial use within
the most important part of the City for such use. But note that, except for the CBD, the
other commercial zones do permit single family dwellings subject to a conditional use
permit (CUP). Such development within the CBD is not permitted at all, except as a part
of a mixed use project, as this land is the most important in the City for commercial
development as noted in the Comp Plan. Also attached are the CUP standards for
accepting an application; it would be very difficult, using these standards, to deny an
application for a residential development in the CBD if this amendment is adopted.
So what is the motivation for the proposed change in the CBD? I believe it is in response
to the request of one individual who wishes to expand his existing residence located on
East Lake St. See the following application of this meeting for a variance. I strongly
oppose this proposed amendment and urge its denial for two reasons:
i. It is not appropriate to make such a significant code change in response to the
request of one individual.
2. The change has the potential to continue the development of any remaining
open land, or redevelopment of older structures, into single family residential or
multifamily residential projects, at the expense of appropriate and desirable commercial
development, contrary to the direction of the Comp Plan.

Community Concerns
The McCall Future Land Use Plan is an important planning
and management tool to address growth issues and imple-
ment the Vision Statement. It locates diverse land uses in
appropriate places, improves efficiency and functionality,
helps maintain the scenic and mountain character of
McCall, and addresses appropriate zoning densities to
address desired build -out population goals.
During the Comprehensive Plan Update process,
participants advocated for land use goals that emphasize
respecting and protecting the environment and natural
beauty of McCall, protecting and preserving natural
open landscapes and rural settings surrounding McCall,
discouraging and limiting upzoning, and ensuring public
access to the network of pathways and open public spaces.
Citizens were particularly concerned about the use of
the R- 16 zone and felt that the opportunities for the R-
16 zone should be limited to the appropriate scale and
location. Participants were also very concerned about the
draft Airport Master Plan and consistency between the
Comprehensive Plan and Airport Master Plan.
During each of the Design Dialogue workshop series,
stakeholders and community members identified many
issues, opportunities and concerns for McCall's future,
The following is a summary list of these items that were
translated into land use goals and objectives. Many of
these issues also relate to Community Character.
Preserving, enhancing and building a great
community for McCall's full time residents
• Providing a variety of housing and residential zones
• Downtown as a priority area
• A civic campus and public gathering place in the
downtown
Completion of sidewalks downtown and along
Third Street, as priority areas
A lakefront path or boardwalk
• Need for appropriately zoned land (e.g. business
parks) that will support economic diversification
• Concern about impacts related to the airport,
potential airport expansion, and consistency
between the Comprehensive Plan and Airport
Master Plan
The need for design standards for business parks
and potential visual impacts along Highway 55,
south of McCall
• Expansion of the Area of Impact so the City can
guide land use adjacent to McCall
• Creation of"heritage landscapes" in the Farm -to -
Market area and West Valley
• Support for clustering and village style design
• Creation of scenic corridors for the south
entrance (Johnson Lane to Four Corners) and
the west entrance into McCall ("Big Pine" area
—Warren Wagon Road to west Area of Impact
boundary)
Concern for development of state endowment
Lands, and desire to promote clustering concepts
and environmental stewardship when endowment
lands around the lake are considered for
development
• Linking of land uses in McCall with an excellent
bike and trail system
Goals and Objectives
Goals:
I. Preserve and enhance the area's natural, social, and
physical environments.
II. Emphasize and promote public parks and open
spaces in land use planning,
III. Emphasize and promote a variety of recreational
and civic facilities in land use planning.
IV. Plan for a variety of appropriate land uses,
minimizing negative environmental impacts from
growth.
V. Retain rural character and natural undeveloped
landscapes of the area surrounding the developed
portions of McCall.
VI. Plan and develop the Central Business District in
McCall as the heart of the community.
VII. Plan for a variety of residential areas in McCall.
VIII. Plan for commercial areas that create mixed use
centers and/or mixed use transportation corridors.
IX. Plan for business parks and light industry to
support economic diversification and local jobs in
McCall.

3.13.03: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS:
In the various zones, certain uses are permitted, subject to the granting of a conditional use permit.
Because of their unusual characteristics, these uses require special consideration so that they may
be located properly with respect to the objectives of this title (and title IX of this code) and with
respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes, the commission
is empowered to grant or deny applications for conditional use permits as are prescribed in this
chapter and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of such permits.
(A) Public Hearing: The commission will set the date for and hold a public hearing and subsequently
make recommendations to the council for approval or denial of the request in accordance with the
provisions set forth in chapter 15, "Procedures, Appeals And Action", of this title. (Ord. 821, 2-23-
2006, eff. 3-16-2006)
(B) Findings For Granting Permit: A conditional use permit shall be granted only if the commission
finds that the use, as applied for, in fact will:
1. Constitute a conditional use authorized in the zone involved.
2. Be harmonious with and in accord with the general objectives and with any specific objectives
of the comprehensive plan and/or this title.
3. Be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in
appearance with the existing or likely character of the neighborhood, and that such use will not
change the essential character of the surrounding area.
4. Not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood of such proposed use.
5. Not cause any substantially harmful environmental consequences to any land or waters within
the planning jurisdiction.
6. Not create excessive additional public cost for public facilities and services, and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
7. Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services including highways, streets,
police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and schools.
The applicant may be required, as a condition of approval, to mitigate any deficient public
service.
8. Not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment or conditions of operation that will
cause unreasonable production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors or other forms of
pollution.
9. Have vehicular approaches to the property so designed as not to create a detrimental
interference with traffic on surrounding public or private thoroughfares, or adversely affect the
pedestrian environment.

10. Not result in the destruction, loss or damage of an important natural, scenic or historic feature.
11. Be on a site of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use, including the yards, open
spaces, snow storage, walls, fences, parking areas, loading zones and design standards
applicable.
12. Have a minimal negative economic impact on the neighborhood or surrounding community.
(Ord. 864, 2-12-2009)
(C) Required Conditions: The commission may, after review of the application for a conditional use
permit and public hearing, require the applicant to meet any specific conditions of approval
deemed necessary by the commission to protect the health, safety, general welfare and
environment of the community. Such conditions are not limited to, but may include:
1. Limitations on the hours of operation of the use;
2. Limitations on the length of time that the conditional use permit may be exercised before it will
expire by its own terms;
3. Additional landscaping and building beautification;
4. Additional or reduced off street parking or transportation improvements; and/or
5. Execution of a written agreement respecting construction of necessary improvements similar in
form and content to a subdivision agreement, with its performance secured in the same fashion
as performance of a subdivision agreement.
(D) Imposing More Restrictive Standards: Upon recommending approval of a conditional use permit,
the commission may impose more restrictive standards than those generally required. (Ord. 821,
2-23-2006, eff. 3-16-2006)
